Default Good LS1 Engine Shop

I live in East STroudsburg, PA (Pocono's) and I recently rebuilt my motor. Everything brand new. After a few road races I am having dropping oil pressure issues. I wanted to take the short block to a good LS1 shop that is somewhat close by to me, (with in driving distance, say no more than 3 hours) Does anyone know of a few shops to call and their names? I would look for them to rebuild the rotating assembly, I would be able to do the rest. Thanks for the help and info.

I never realized you were only 2.5 hours from me. This is good to know.
